17. Art Time!
This week’s focus is all about looking back across all our artwork this year.
You will create an ‘exploding book’ (see video link on how to do this), and you will
then use each section to do a different type of art that we have covered this year. The
inside of your book should be made up of 4 squares and 12 triangles. Each section
should be a different type of art to the one next to it.
Look on the next pages for all the things we have done this year.
